Abstract: A method of beam reciprocity state reporting and uplink beam management in wireless communication systems with beamforming is proposed. In one novel aspect, a UE determines its UE beam reciprocity state and sends a "UE beam reciprocity state" message to a BS, which triggers proper uplink beam management accordingly. The UE beam reciprocity state message can take place when UE tries to register to the network. For example, according to factory setting, UE reports at least "Positive" or "Negative" in this message. Beam reciprocity state can be updated by a "UE beam reciprocity state update" message. An auxiliary information can be transmitted to the BS for UL beam management if UE reports "Negative" for beam reciprocity state. The auxiliary information indicates the uncertainty level of UE beams.

Abstract: Disclosed are hypodermic needle devices having an easily-observed, visual indication that the drug contents of the device have expired. The visual indication may be triggered when a counter maintained by a processor of the hypodermic needle device has exceeded a time threshold. The time threshold may be configured based on the drug threshold, and the counter and time threshold may be manually or dynamically adjusted as real-world conditions change to alter the time to expiration. For instance, a prolonged increase in temperature detected by the temperature sensor may speed up the expiration rate of the drug and require a reduction in the time threshold.
